Job Introduction We are looking for a dedicated, passionate and skilled Senior Mental Health Nurse to join our specialist Outreach team providing support to people living in their homes in Manchester. We currently support both males and females in their own homes in the community in different areas across Manchester. We support people with a diagnosis of a severe and enduring mental illness who have had a period of rehabilitation and treatment, and who are now living independently in the community with a support package from our service. We offer a specialist service with the aim of supporting women and men who have experienced repeated inpatient admissions to sustain a safe and rewarding life outside of hospital. Our team consists of nurses, project workers and support workers. Together we provide the resources that enable people to build upon their recovery and achieve their goals. We work collaboratively with community mental and physical health services to ensure people have the best chance of success. Role Responsibility We aspire to work in true partnership with our service users and encourage everyone to reach their full potential, whilst working to maintain their optimum level of independence in the community. Ultimately our aim is to maintain daily living skills alongside psycho-social interventions necessary to equip people to live more independently in the community with confidence. Working alongside a small friendly and experienced team, you will develop therapeutic relationships with service users, and help them to develop appropriate coping strategies and skills for independent living. The Specialist Outreach service achieves great results for its service users, and has a friendly, caring and inclusive team. The service operates from 9am-8pm, 7 days per week, and does not include any night shifts or on-call duties.

The Ideal Candidate If you are someone who understands the importance of recovery and are passionate about seeing people achieve their best, then we want to hear from you. We need you to be a qualified nurse with an understanding of recovery models/approaches and a good understanding of mental health issues and the way in which they are managed (including knowledge of the mental health act, mental capacity act and care program approach). You will be fully engaged in a range of activities such as: taking part in clinical audits, acting as a primary nurse for nominated service users, participating in MDT reviews, and within the CPA process. Acting as a professional role model, you will also take part in clinical supervision and offer supervision to more junior members of staff. You will ideally have experience of working in the community, although this is not essential. As a part of your role you will be expected to travel across the different areas to support our clients, hence holding a driving license and having access to a car are strongly desirable. In return for your hard work, dedication and commitment, we can offer the opportunity to grow, learn and develop as a practitioner in an environment that is focused on recovery and collaborative MDT working. About us What benefits will I receive? We know reward looks different to each person and so whether its ways to make your money go further, a culture supporting recognition and celebration, or opportunities to boost your career - we want to support you in every way we can with our total reward package that includes: Comprehensive learning and development opportunities so we can invest in your future - we're proud to have a silver accreditation from Investors in People.
